New octopus-inspired adhesive’s gripping power holds anything underwater | This new technology has potential applications in underwater salvage, and rescue operations.
Researchers have developed a new adhesive that can grip and release objects underwater with incredible precision.
Inspired by octopus suckers, researchers have created a new adhesive that can grip and release objects underwater with incredible precision. Chanhong Lee and Michael Bartlett for Virginia Tech.For this study, the researchers examined the outermost part of the octopus’s sucker called the infundibulum. This demonstration highlights the ability of the octopus-inspired adhesive to precisely manipulate difficult underwater objects,” said Chanhong Lee, the first author of the paper.
